So, I have actually been rather busy these days.
First of a lot more painting. Got the rads finished uo quite nicely:
But also some smaller stuff in the build.
And also a more challanging one; the motherboard.
First taping all the useable parts in (socket, RAM, PCI and so on).
Then getting the worst dust away with some compressed air.
Bought some Platisk 70 and got going with it (insulation) and after that the non conductive paint.
Here is the first look:
Then off with the tape and on with a Little CPU cooler, and only one RAM stick.
AND WE HAVE BOOT
Then one with a GPU to test aswell (didn't want to kill that if the board went on fire. I had some Water ready to kill out any flames
)
BUT BOOT aswell:
The with all the RAM and two GPU, and still with at BOOT.
I haven't went into Windows just yet. Only to the UEFI on the board, but everything seemed fine, SSDs detected
Hopefully it will stay that way.
But still having some red spots on the motherboard, I began the many hour long proces for painting green.
I have also manage to get some sleeving done (CPU and ATX). And I have got a lot of it installed in the case.
BUT enough talk, hope you enjoy:
And YES, that is two beautiful monsoon fittings you are spotting.
Many more are right beside me, just waiting to get installed
I just had to take some shots of them:
Back to the build, I went away with my first idea of the D5 pumps, and over to the Swiftech PWM controlled DDC and the EKWB res. First I would lay it Down horisontal, but a test showed that the Water wasn't flowing that great in that position (which EKWB also tells to leave it vertikal). So up it goes.
The change from D5 pumps and res on the PSU is due to room. With two reservoirs on the PSU, I would have had to use some low profile RAM with no Watercooling. But this changed that so now the RAM get's watercooled aswell. Also thinks the EKWB res looks awesome in White (still need the paint the rings green)
To the right of the pump (in the open Space up front), three Intel X25-M 160gb will get installed. Filling up the Space and looking good (will also get some paint)
Also getting great cooling from that 80mm fan that will get installed behind them.
Next up is to paint the ********* on the PSU green, install a White filter in the front and install radiators. Then to figure out how the loop should run.
My time the next three and a half weeks is limited due to exams, so only small Things will get done on this project.
BUT im stilling looking for a great name.
Best right now is "Green Ice Cube"
